Job Description

Position Title: Labor & Employment Non-Equity Partner

A well-established New Hampshire law firm is preparing for the planned retirement of a senior partner who bills roughly 2,400 hours a year. A seasoned partner has stepped forward to take over that practice, and the firm needs a labor and employment attorney to help carry it. The book of business consists of large, longstanding corporate clients, so the work is steady and substantive. The firm also aims to make the practice of law as straightforward as possible, which allows attorneys to focus on their clients and their cases.

The firm provides a business development plan with short-term and long-term goals, along with financial resources to pursue it. Every associate receives a mentor and a co-mentor. Women hold many of the firm’s leadership positions, and the atmosphere is collegial, supportive, and hardworking. Lateral partners may move from non-equity to equity partnership in about two years. Associates generally progress toward partnership over a longer period. The position follows a hybrid schedule, with at least four days in the Concord office to start and the option to move to three.

Salary Range: $110,000 – $155,000 / Year DOE

Plus discretionary bonus opportunities tied to hours and fees generated, and to business originated
